Deadly Hit-and-run Kills Two People

A deadly hit-and-run accident took place on Friday in Santa
Ana. The accident occurred on Friday, August 23, 2013 around 11 am near
Cabrillo Park and East Fruit Street. The accident took place between an Audi
and a Nissan. Apparently, the Audi was moving at a very high speed and sped
through a stop sign. It was then that it slammed into the side of a Nissan.

Unfortunately, two men in the Nissan died shortly after the
crash. Both men were in their 50’s. The two were on their way to buy supplies
for a party in their neighborhood. The driver of the Audi got out of his car
and attempted to open the Nissan’s door. When he failed to open and get inside
the car, witness said that he walked away while talking on his phone.

According to police officials, the man is a gang member who
is out on parole. Police officials encourage anyone with information to come
forward and call Orange County Crime Stoppers at (855) TIP- OCCS. In addition,
a $1,000 reward is being offered to anyone who can provide information that
will lead to an arrest.

Highly Illegal and
Dangerous

Hit-and-run accidents are extremely dangerous and highly
illegal. If you are in an accident and someone is injured, you must always stay
at the scene and call for emergency help. Failing to do so and fleeing the
scene is not only illegal, but places other people at risk.

If you commit a
hit-and-run accident, you can face multiple charges and prison time. After an
accident, always stay at the scene and identify yourself. If someone is
injured, call for emergency help. Committing a hit-and-run crime can lead to
even greater fees and legal punishment so it is best never to do it.
